6 Mark Questions Examples from AQA B1
Body temperature • What adaptations help a human to maintain a consistent body temperature?
Method • First, bullet point a few ideas or key words relevant to the question. • Next, put them into a logical sequence by writing a number next to each one. You may wish to add or remove points. • Turn each one into a sentence, linking them by describing causes and effects (so, which means that, and then…)
Body temperature • Hot sweat thirsty • Cold shiver hairs on end Blood flow?
Body temperature • Hot sweat 1 thirsty 2 • Cold shiver 4 muscles/respiration hairs on end 5 insulation Blood flow? 3, 6
Example Questions • Explain how human actions have increased the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. • Describe the stages of a reflex arc when a person touches a hot plate. • How are medical trials tested before widespread use and why?
Using the method • For your question, write the bullet point ideas and sequence them. • Compare your order with your partner; would you agree or disagree? • What do you add when you take a moment to think? What might you remove? • How would you link these ideas together in sentences?
Carbon in the Atmosphere • Burning • Photosynthesis • Respiration • Fossil fuels • Plants • Animals • Decomposition
Reflex Arc • Stimulus • Receptor • Sensory neurone • Relay neurone NO BRAIN • Motor neurone • Effector (muscle) • Response
Medical Trials • Reduce deaths/improve health • Double blind/randomized • Animals/cells • Healthy people • Ill people
Changes • Each of these sets of bullet points is incomplete. How do they compare to your thinking? • Write up possible answers in sentences then discuss these with your partner. Do you agree on a predicted mark? • Use markschemes to check your score. Are you making predictable or repeated mistakes?
